A Throwback to Throw Back

A Throwback to Throw Back

This brew is a throwback. Way back to 1851 when John Sleeman started the Silver Creek Brewing Company, and the rest is history. * Well actually, that part is history too. As far as history goes, which is way back and then some, much if not all of the past is history,...

Not Just Any Balance, This is a Fine Balance

Although the Beach Ball Body™ Fitness Program does maintain a certain body weight conducive to my lifestyle, if you’re not careful the old cholesterol reading can climb the charts like a new Taylor Swift track.  Low cal dip and low salt chips certainly help the cause,...

Welcome to Wrexham Lager

Welcome to Wrexham Lager

  Wrexham you say? How has a little Welsh community become the center of attention these days? * A model of resilience, comeback kids. They had a football (soccer) team that was floundering. A brewery that was drying up. Things looked dire for the little Welsh...

Black Gold, Texas Tea

Black Gold, Texas Tea

How about a glass of 10W30? * Sounds like a drunken dare from some redneck motorheads. A can of that bubblin’ crude that made Uncle Jed a millionaire, black gold, Texas tea. ** No, it’s just what Neustadt Springs has named their dark ale. I must admit, the name...

We Are Playing Duck Duck Joose and This Beer Is It

Like Pass-Out or Strip Poker, Duck Duck Joose is not a game for kids.* What it is is some semi-serious suds from Kame & Kettle. We have had ducks visit the most spectacular bird feeder in the world, and we have flown with Double Ducks in our day. Not to limit...
